Campus Donations
A group of Florida State University students is collecting donations to feed the homeless. The FSU Public Interest Research Group has already collected 500 hundred dollars.
They plan to use the money to feed homeless people in Tallahassee Tuesday night before they leave home for the Thanksgiving holiday.
FSU PIRG member Chris Norcross says student have been generous.
“One student dropped a 20 dollar bill. Some days we get 10 dollars from some students so it’s been very successful.”
The group is almost at its goal of 6-hundred dollars. FSU PIRG is a non-profit, non-partisan activist group trying to get students involved in voting, government and charity work.
